On the outside, this 18th-century building is bursting with character and charm. Step inside, however, and you'll find a bright and contemporary studio apartment kitted out with all the modern comforts you'll need – a compact kitchenette, a luxurious rain shower and a sumptuous sofa perfect for lounging after a long day. There are some period characteristics, too – we love the beams on the ceiling and the gorgeous sash window that floods the space with light. Guests will also have access to the communal gym for morning workouts, a sleek lounge for when you need a change of scenery and a beautiful courtyard for relaxing in the sun. Location-wise, you're right on the tree-lined Nieuwe Keizersgracht canal, just a stone's throw from excellent restaurants, local boutiques, hip bars and historical museums. With Central Station only fifteen minutes away and everything within walking distance, you won't need a car here. Set off and explore on foot, or better yet, make like the locals and rent a bike from the kiosk out front – it's truly the best way to get around Amsterdam.
